    Saudi Arabia women hail decision allowing them to drive: great victory

    A member of the Shura council, “This is a great victory for many Saudi women. This was the one file and issue which Saudi women have fought decades for.”

    Campaigners in Saudi Arabia have hailed King Salman's decree allowing women to drive for the first time. One female activist called it a “great victory”, while another said things would “never be the same again”, and the country's US ambassador has described the move as “the right decision at the right time”.
